Binghamton Brewing Preparing to Open New Johnson City Site

The owners of Binghamton Brewing Company are looking forward to opening the doors to a new, much larger operation in Johnson City soon.

The craft brewing business was initially located in an old Endicott Johnson firehouse on Avenue B in the village.

Kristen Lyons of Binghamton said the company's plans to set up shop in Century Sunrise development on Baldwin Street were put on hold because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The business encountered an array of regulatory issues and delays but the expansion project is back on track.

Lyons said the new Binghamton Brewing location will be able to use 9,000 square feet of space with a greatly-expanded production facility and a canning line.

In addition to craft beer, the place will feature a limited menu of food. Some local food truck operators may also offer their specialties.

Lyons envisions the site as "more of a third space" that will attract customers for beer, music and special activities including axe throwing and trivia nights.

Additional seating will be available on an outdoor deck near the entrance to the establishment.

Lyons hasn't established a target date for opening the new Binghamton Beer Company site but he hopes brewing can start this spring with a launch of the expanded operations in early summer.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery. Keep reading to find out what the best beer is in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C.
